Girl, I know he ain't takin' care of you
I see it in your face
And I know that's not the man that you really want
You know
So if you see me talkin'
Just come see me
I'm a better man any way

Lies and deceit
I know you feel this with your man
'Cause within all I see is crying

I should be your boyfriend
(I should be your boyfriend)
?Cause you know he's lyin'
(?Cause you know he's lyin')
It might seem like I'm hating
(Might seem like I'mhating)
But girl, I'm just relating

Step one, walk through that door
Step two, tell him
He's not like he was before
You don't love him anymore

Round three, come to me
Step four, I'll love you more
You will see how love should be
But there's more steps to complete

Remember the time
When he tried to be the one
Who would give all you deserved
Now he's not trying

I should be your boyfriend
(I should be your boyfriend)
'Cause you know he's lyin'
('Cause you know he's lyin')
It might seem like I'm hating
(Might seem like I'mhating)
But girl, I'm just relating, take step one

Step one, walk through that door
Step two, tell him
He's not like he was before
You don't love him anymore

Round three, come to me
Step four, I'll love you more
You will see how love should be
But there's more steps to complete

You're what I'm lookin' for
Our love can mean much more
Than what he's givin' you
But you must let him know
That you can't take no more
Replace him with me

Someone to lend out his shoulder
That believes in someone deserves it
You can't figure out, what it's all about
Baby (Baby)

Step one, walk through that door
Step two, tell him
He's not like he was before
You don't love him anymore

Round three, come to me
Step four, I'll love you more
You will see how love should be
But there's more steps to complete

Step one, walk through that door
Step two, tell him
He's not like he was before
You don't love him anymore

Round three, come to me
Step four, I'll love you more
You will see how love should be
But there's more steps to complete
